Judges 20:10
And we will take ten men of an hundred throughout all the tribes of Israel, and an hundred of a thousand, and a thousand out of ten thousand, to fetch victual for the people, that they may do, when they come to Gibeah of Benjamin, according to all the folly that they have wrought in Israel.
Judges 20:10 belongs to the closing chapters of Judges, which arrange provisions for the campaign against Gibeah after the outrage there. Those events come from the early part of the period of the judges. Those closing chapters show the low condition into which Israel had fallen before the call of Samuel the prophet. That low condition stands in mighty contrast to the goodness and mercy of God seen in Christ's miracles and teaching.
The verse belongs to the account of the crime and outrage at Gibeah and Israel's response to it, where the wrongdoing and folly is the disgraceful murder of the Levite's concubine at Gibeah of Benjamin. In that account the whole tribe of Benjamin identified itself with the people of Gibeah. The verse records Israel's arrangement for one-tenth of the men, ten from a hundred and a hundred from a thousand and a thousand from ten thousand, to gather food for the people so the rest could go to Gibeah and act against the wrongdoing committed in Israel. The folly at Gibeah nearly resulted in the extermination of the tribe of Benjamin. Gibeah means high, standing 2,690 feet above the sea, about 200 feet higher than Jerusalem, within an hour's walk from Jerusalem, and commanding a view even beyond the Dead Sea far into the mountains of Moab.
